If you\u2019re frustrated by aesthetic flaws in your teeth, you\u2019re not alone! Millions of people turn to cosmetic dentistry<\/a> every year to repair imperfections in their smiles. Veneers specifically have gained a reputation as a long-lasting solution to cover up minor chips, cracks, or gaps in your teeth. Did you know, though, that there are different types? If you\u2019re considering this treatment, it\u2019s important to be informed so that you can make an educated decision with your dentist. Keep reading to learn more about the two types of veneers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are the Types of Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you can decide which option best suits your circumstances, you must know what they are. These shells are typically made in one of two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Porcelain veneers<\/strong> have become the standard and today are considered the more traditional choice. They are made of an incredibly resilient ceramic that\u2019s coated with a durable glaze. They\u2019re bonded to the front of your teeth to hide any damage and shield them from further harm. They are, therefore, both beautiful and functional.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Composite veneers<\/strong>, also known as bonded veneers, consist of using a composite resin material to hide imperfections instead of porcelain. Your dentist covers the front of your tooth with resin, shapes it accordingly, and hardens it with a special curing light. This also provides additional protection to already vulnerable teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When Are Porcelain Veneers Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Porcelain veneers are generally considered the stronger and can last for decades with the right maintenance. The material is not overly porous, and the special coating leaves it resistant to staining and breaking. Not only that, but porcelain is also somewhat translucent just like your natural enamel, so it\u2019s hard to tell these apart from your other teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The largest drawback to this treatment is the preparation. For these shells to sit flush against your gums in line with your teeth, your dentist will need to remove a thin layer of enamel from your natural tooth. They\u2019ll first numb the area with a local anesthetic, so you won\u2019t need to worry about discomfort. However, enamel doesn\u2019t grow back so this procedure is irreversible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When Should I Choose Composite Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Composite veneers are more convenient and cost-effective than their porcelain counterparts. While it can take several weeks for the process of porcelain veneers to be completed from start to finish, that\u2019s not true with bonding. Your dentist can potentially even complete the process in a single visit. Not to mention that there\u2019s no preparation required for your teeth, so this process is reversible if you need it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Though you might initially spend less on composite veneers, down the road you may need to repair or replace your composite veneers. They\u2019re more prone to chips, cracks, and breaking which means they\u2019ll last 5-10 years instead of 15-20. You might end up paying more in the long run if you have additional dental visits and repairs that you wouldn\u2019t need with ceramic veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ultimately, only your dentist can assess your specific situation to recommend one over the other. Now that you know what the options are, though, you\u2019ll be able to make an informed decision that you can be happy with for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
